George Mason’s biodefense program is designed to educate the nextgeneration of biodefense and biosecurity professionals. By combining afoundation in the biological sciences with a focus on policy analysis, itis the first program of its kind in the United States to offer a broadfield of study in the defense against biological threats and other weaponsof mass destruction. The risks posed by biological threats have increasedsubstantially in recent years due to globalization, advances in scienceand technology, and the changing nature of conflict and security. As theUnited States embarks on a range of ambitious efforts to enhance itsbiosecurity, there is a greater need than ever to instill a strongintersection of knowledge of policy, science and technology across thenational security community. The nature of the problem defines the natureof the solution: interdisciplinary, interagency, intergovernmental, andinternational. The Biodefense program at George Mason University is unique in this approach. If your career choice requires you to furtheryour knowledge of biological warfare and bioterrorism, counterterrorism,WMD non-proliferation, homeland security, emergency planning andpreparedness, or global health, we encourage you to apply. The department offers an MS and a PhD in biodefense.
